Do you have an authoritative source for that statement? http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html 3.206 Line A sequence of zero or more non- characters plus a terminating character. 3.397 Text File A file that contains characters organized into zero or more lines. The lines do not contain NUL characters and none can exceed {LINE_MAX} bytes in length, including the character. Although POSIX.1-2008 does not distinguish between text files and binary files (see the ISO C standard), many utilities only produce predictable or meaningful output when operating on text files. The standard utilities that have such restrictions always specify "text files" in their STDIN or INPUT FILES sections.
